There's no laws preventing you from using what you perceive as women's hair care products.

Yes, but I think the (true) point was that male-marketed products are always either:

  • Arctic freshness 0°K we'll make you feel like you're naked on an iceberg in the middle of the North Pole

Or:

  • Now you smell like your grandfather! Some wood, musk, and cedar cones

Why is it so and what does it tell of our society and weird expectations? A great deal of men do NOT appreciate this approach, and sure turn to the products marketed for women.

We should either break that insanely entrenched stereotype about "masculine" scents, or better just ditch product gendering altogether.

Yay for men smelling like vanilla and strawberry yoghurt!

Old Spice has some "island" scents that smell like fruits and flowers for men. I am currently working my way through a bottle of "Fiji" smells like papaya and vanilla.

I am at a loss to think of a more man oriented brand of hygiene products than Old Spice. Maybe Axe, but do we really consider teenage boys men?

Axe makes me break out something awful. Only been two periods of time I wore it, both because the lady I was with commented on it smelling nice when we were in a store, and then only wearing it on nights I was going out with her and hoping I'd recover before next time.

I have little or no allergies regarding anything else, but deodorants for some reason are prone to setting me off (my suspicion is that it's particular fragrances used in some of them). Currently Dove Men + Care is safe for me, so I use that.
